He stole my monster, so I gave him a piece of my mind. Eight years later, we’re still sharing everything

We met online in a video game. He kill-stole my monster, and I gave him a piece of my mind. Started talking and realized we had a lot in common.
We ended up racking up telephone bills to talk to each other every day. We both worked 50-hour weeks and went to school full-time, but always made time for one another. We’d skype and email and text constantly.
